- 1182: Computer Pornography
- ... real world some of the greatest novels would be taken off the shelf. For example there is the great lesbian novel The Well of Loneliness by Radcliffe Hall. In that book there is a line t hat states "And that night, they were not divided." Clearly that would be a sexually explicit phrase(Wallace: 2). Now the words "depicting or describing". The word "describing" translates into anything with pure explicit text. That would include any book converted and placed on the Internet with outspoken words or phrases. This goes against the first amendment. Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer and James Joyce's Ulysses would not be able to possibly be posted online(Wallace: 2). "Sexual or excretory acts or functions": This would relieve anything from sleazy bestsellers to 19th century classics, such as Zola's LaTerre ...
- 1183: Anne Bradstreet: The Heretical Poet
- ... woman of the 17th Century and lived in a male dominated, intensely religious society. She lived within the limitations not only of the beliefs and standards of her society, but of her sex. A woman's place was definitely in the home in Colonial America. The experiences of women were considered narrow and trivial in comparison with men's. Puritanism was more than a religious belief; it was a way of life. "In the dozen years before 1640, some 15,000 Englishmen crossed the Atlantic in order to establish a 'Holy Commonwealth' in which that way of life could flourish"(Hall 1). The Puritans were a party in the Church of England that arose in Elizabeth's reign with the purpose of carrying out the Protestant reformation, and to base the Church of England on the foundation of the scriptures. Aside from a literal belief in the Bible, Puritans wholly accepted ...
- 1184: Bamn By All Means Neccessary
- ... ethnic or other groups protesting for their desire freedom and rights. The groups that will be discussed in this report are Yippies and "No More Miss America". The author of "No More Miss America" didn't want the Beauty Pageant, and that's okay because she gave ten points and after all it's her opinion. On the other hand, Yippies wants the freedom of doing nothing. That's a big difference. The difference is that the world could live without having beauty contests but it can't ...

- 1186: Greek Orthodox Customs
- Greek Orthodox Customs Most of the kids I grew up with in the Greek village of Karpatos were forced into arranged marriages, but I never thought it would happen to me. I didn't want to get married. I wanted to be a singer. When I was 14, my family moved to a Greek Orthodox community. Suddenly, even though I could still barely say " hello" in English, I was ... being exposed to all these wonderful Western things. Then, at a neighborhood Greek festival, my mother, who was convinced I was boy crazy, saw me talking to a guy, and decided that if she didn't marry me off I'd disgrace myself. She knew a woman who lived in New York with her 21-year old son, who was working as a waiter. My parents went there to arrange a marriage between us. My father told my mother that he didn't like the prospective bridegroom, but she didn't care. I met my husband six days before the ceremony; I remember every nightmare detail of my wedding and honeymoon. Only two states allow underage marriages, ...
- 1187: Why IQ Tests Don't Test Intelligence
- Why IQ Tests Don't Test Intelligence The task of trying to quantify a person's intelligence has been a goal of psychologists since before the beginning of this century. The Binet-Simon scales were first proposed in 1905 in Paris, France and various sorts of tests have been evolving ever since. One of the important questions that always comes up regarding these tools is what are the tests really measuring? Are they measuring a person's intelligence? Their ability to perform well on standardized tests? Or just some arbitrary quantity of the person's IQ? When examining the situations around which these tests are given and the content of the ...

- 1189: Dynamic Change In The U.S.
- Dynamic Change In The U.S. There was much change brought about by the Civil War, and many people and companies played very big roles throughout this enormous growth of our country. The U.S. basically erupted economically during this time, and the tremendous augmentation of railways only instigated this bursting of the economy. Not only did the U.S. have stunning economic growth and railroad production, but it was overwhelmingly influenced by many key individuals such as Gustavus Swift, Thomas Edison, Andrew Carnegie, John Davidson Rockefeller, and John Pierpont Morgan. Each of these ...

- ... literary works of art, but also our society today. Many of his most notable novels would draw from his days at sea, and from his experiences as a result of those voyages. A. Herman Melville’s life was an intriguing one, with many interesting aspects. He was born in 1819 to Allan and Maria Melville in New York, NY and would have a total of seven other siblings. Of these siblings there were four girls and four boys, including Herman. His life would go fine until about 1930 when his father’s business went bankrupt. But to top things off, he would die an insane man two years later. From this time on, life would remain a little unstable, at least until Melville ventured for the first ... island. This ship though, proved itself no better than the Acushnet, and Melville would escape to Tahiti, again with one crewmember to tag along. Eventually Melville ended up in Hawaii, where he joined the U.S. Navy and would work aboard the frigate United States. This would be his last voyage at sea though, as he only remained with the Navy for one year, and hung up his hat as ...
